In case you hadn’t heard, Major is hosting a community event at the Microsoft Store in Century City featuring Xbox One.  Here’s the announcement:

If you are in the Southern California area, we’ve got a special Xbox Community meet up scheduled for Monday, June 10th at the Microsoft Store in Century City. Join me and members of the Xbox team as we show off Xbox One to the public for the first time. Plus we’ll also have hands-on time with the new Xbox One controller.

I may have one or two other surprises there as well

Here are the details:
Where: The Microsoft Store, Westfield Century City in Los Angeles (Directions)
When: Monday, June 10th from 7:30pm – 9:00pm
Why: Come meet members of the Xbox team and see the Xbox One with your own eyes, plus take the Xbox One controller for a spin and see (and feel) for yourself the improvements we’ve made to one of the best controllers in gaming.

The event is free and open to the public but we expect a crowd, so I recommend getting there there early.

Since this is my backyard, I’ll be there and I hope you will too.  Here’s a few details that I’ll add for your benefit:

Parking:  The costs for parking are $1/hr up to 3 hours.  After that it get’s pricey and shifts into $1/15min.
Food:  If you want to arrive early and are interested in dinner or food, there’s several places for food outside of the food court that are 50 yards away from the store. (The food court, by the way, is really excellent.  Remember: Beverly Hills-types are the target market for the food court here in Century City)
– Pink Taco (Massive tequila bar.  Nice.)
– The Counter (BYOBurger.  Yum.)
– BJ’s Brewery (Brews, brews, brews.  Mary Jo Foley would be proud.)
There’s also Toscanova or the Gulfstream, which are more fine dining.
Discount:  If you’re an employee of the Walt Disney Company & you plan on going, please contact me and I’ll extend my store discount to you if you plan on picking up a game, accessory, or computer.
